Talents in hydrogen energy disciplines serve as the key power in breaking through the technical bottleneck, building the industrial chain, realizing the rise of hydrogen energy in the global energy pattern, and promoting green and sustainable development. With hydrogen energy being officially incorporated into the Energy Law of the People’s Republic of China (Draft), universities and colleges, are launching a series of emerging hydrogen energy-related majors. These initiatives open new development paths for young people and inject strong momentum into the development of the national hydrogen energy industry. This paper reviewed the current development status of hydrogen energy disciplines in China, deeply analyzed the talent demand and cultivation in the hydrogen energy sector, clarified challenges faced by talent cultivation in hydrogen energy disciplines, and proposed corresponding suggestions.
